A sense of adoration rises within you as you first lay eyes on 16 Ben Nevis Street: a charming turquoise cottage with a gabled roof, dormer windows and an ornamental feature tree sitting proudly in front. Whilst its facade presents as a petite cottage, inside you’ll discover a surprisingly large four bedroom, two bathroom home with a separate studio.
Rich, polished hardwood timber floors run throughout the home grounding you within the space as fresh, white walls and ceilings stretch up and around you. From the flooring to the exposed beams to the open-riser staircase and VJ-panelled kitchen cabinetry; the subtle use of timber lines throughout the home provides character, intrigue and a sense of cohesiveness.
The open-plan kitchen, dining & living area hosts a fireplace and air-conditioning and is adorned with french windows that provide ample natural light and allow for cool summer breezes to flow throughout the home. Within the modern country kitchen you’ll find a gas cooktop, dishwasher, timber bench tops and a generous butlers pantry with provisions for a laundry. The lower level accommodates the main bathroom with separate toilet and the three secondary bedrooms – one of which features direct access to the front porch making it perfect for use as a studio space or affording guests or teenagers extra privacy and autonomy. On the second level you’ll discover the master retreat – a jewel in the crown of this home – an expansive, air-conditioned space with cathedral ceilings, built-in storage and beautiful natural light. With enough room for multiple open-plan zones, a French-doored juliet balcony plus a walk-through wardrobe and large ensuite, this room is the ultimate parent’s bedroom retreat.
